The MCC is a student led organization, utilizing the student voice to create programming that directly impacts and supports our diverse student population.

The MultiCultural Center (MCC) is one of the four Cultural Centers for Academic Excellence. The MCC was created out of student demand for a space to create community among a diverse student population. The MCC provides a space for students to develop the community they need in order to be successful at HSU.

Our Mission: The MultiCultural Center (MCC) is a dynamic and inclusive learning community that supports students in their academic and personal journeys at HSU. We do this by creating community, a home away from home and a safe place to Explore, Experience, Express, Empower and Engage. The MCC is committed to retention and student success by providing co-curricular opportunities for leadership development, social justice advocacy, identity exploration and cross-cultural learning experiences. We are a student-centered program that fosters acceptance and respect of all people.
